Clyde S. Jennings Elementary School

The staff in this school go above and beyond with their investment in the students. My child, in third grade(06-07), has had wonderful teachers. They are strong, positive role models. She really looks up to them and responds to them well. Academically, I couldn't want for more. Beyond academics, the teachers that my child has had have been very in tune with the emotional issues of growing up as well. They have made themselves very available to my daughter and myself. Foreign language, art, and music (and extracurricular activities) are all offered. The aftercare program in this school system is of the highest caliber. I have always worked with my daughter at home to help her and will continue, as education is much more than just the school she attends. I will say that I could not be more pleased with this school system, from the principal to the maintenance staff.

You're astonished at how little your child knows? Learning begins at HOME. You cannot expect the school to teach your child EVERYTHING. Are you involved in her education? Talk to her teacher and discuss what you can do at home to encourage learning. As far as barely reading, does your daughter see you reading regularly? My daughter has just begun to learn to read but was brought up with a love of books from a young age by seeing her father and I reading novels and by us reading to her daily from infancy.
